About This Part
The Alcatel 3AL81820AA is a high-performance, hot-pluggable optical transceiver module designed for 100 Gigabit Ethernet applications within carrier-grade and data center networks. Adhering to the CFP2 form factor, this module facilitates robust high-density data transmission. Specifically, the Part Number 3AL81820AA supports a 100G data rate by utilizing four independent 25 Gigabit per second (Gbps) optical lanes. Operating at a wavelength of 1310nm, it is engineered for extended reach applications, capable of transmitting data reliably over distances up to 10 kilometers. This module is critical for establishing high-bandwidth interconnections, providing the necessary optical conversion for electrical signals to traverse significant distances within metropolitan area networks (MANs) or large data center interconnects. Its design ensures compatibility with standard 100GBASE-LR4 interfaces, offering a reliable and efficient solution for next-generation network infrastructure. This Alcatel CFP2 transceiver is typically deployed in critical network infrastructure points, including core routers, high-capacity switches, and optical transport platforms that demand significant bandwidth. It is instrumental in building and expanding 100 Gigabit Ethernet links within data centers, between data centers (DCI), and across metropolitan area networks. Telecom operators and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) leverage the 3AL81820AA to upgrade their backbone networks, ensuring sufficient capacity to handle ever-increasing data traffic from mobile, broadband, and cloud services. Cloud providers and large enterprises also utilize these modules to establish high-speed interconnects between their distributed facilities, enabling seamless data replication, disaster recovery, and high-performance computing clusters. The module solves the challenge of escalating bandwidth demands, providing a cost-effective and energy-efficient upgrade path from legacy 10G or 40G infrastructure to modern 100G capabilities, thereby future-proofing network investments and enhancing overall network performance.
